WEBVTT

00:00:39.465 --> 00:00:40.424 align:center
I was waiting for you

00:00:40.425 --> 00:00:43.744 align:center
Your son touched my wife’s belly

00:00:43.745 --> 00:00:44.785 align:center
That’s why we lost our child

00:00:46.105 --> 00:00:47.984 align:center
I will burn you alive

00:00:47.985 --> 00:00:50.344 align:center
Babu... Leave it

00:00:50.345 --> 00:00:54.225 align:center
Do you know why these people are gathered here?

00:00:54.985 --> 00:00:57.784 align:center
You know the problems in the village

00:00:57.785 --> 00:01:01.224 align:center
We also heard a lot about Sreekuttan

00:01:01.225 --> 00:01:02.185 align:center
Do you know about the village collective’s meeting?

00:01:03.185 --> 00:01:04.904 align:center
We all know who your mother is

00:01:04.905 --> 00:01:06.904 align:center
We also know about your ancestral house

00:01:06.905 --> 00:01:09.944 align:center
Do you know how many people have gone missing from the vicinity of your house?

00:01:09.945 --> 00:01:13.744 align:center
Since Sreekuttan’s birth, a curse has fallen upon the village

00:01:13.745 --> 00:01:16.225 align:center
A lot of people have experienced it

00:01:16.785 --> 00:01:19.384 align:center
So, the village has taken a final decision

00:01:19.385 --> 00:01:24.224 align:center
Either you, Leela and Sreekuttan leave the village immediately

00:01:24.225 --> 00:01:27.384 align:center
Or Sreekuttan should never come out of the house

00:01:27.385 --> 00:01:28.785 align:center
The village has imposed a ban on him

00:01:29.985 --> 00:01:33.945 align:center
In case Sreekuttan is seen outside, your will face unimaginable consequences

00:01:35.665 --> 00:01:38.225 align:center
Come... hope you understood everything

00:02:39.385 --> 00:02:40.824 align:center
Sreedhar?

00:02:40.825 --> 00:02:42.545 align:center
Upstairs

00:03:15.825 --> 00:03:18.025 align:center
Rajan?

00:03:31.465 --> 00:03:35.904 align:center
Didn’t time itself bring you here, just as I predicted?

00:03:35.905 --> 00:03:41.344 align:center
I've been looking for you for a long time.

00:03:41.345 --> 00:03:44.425 align:center
Raja, you look older than I am

00:03:47.225 --> 00:03:49.545 align:center
Sit down... hmmm

00:04:00.905 --> 00:04:01.865 align:center
I made a mistake last time

00:04:03.345 --> 00:04:04.145 align:center
Please forgive me

00:04:05.225 --> 00:04:06.945 align:center
Don't hold it against me

00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:13.785 align:center
Forgive? But you didn’t do anything

00:04:19.545 --> 00:04:22.025 align:center
You drink now, don’t you?

00:04:38.145 --> 00:04:40.105 align:center
I have some doubts

00:04:50.785 --> 00:04:53.065 align:center
I know what you want to find out

00:04:53.665 --> 00:04:54.585 align:center
Come

00:05:12.545 --> 00:05:14.465 align:center
You took a long time to come

00:05:17.025 --> 00:05:19.065 align:center
You believed in your mother

00:05:20.065 --> 00:05:20.345 align:center
Sit

00:05:25.545 --> 00:05:29.785 align:center
If you had killed your mother just as I told you to

00:05:31.785 --> 00:05:34.145 align:center
You wouldn't be sitting here in front of me today

00:05:36.505 --> 00:05:38.985 align:center
How will I kill my mother?

00:05:44.145 --> 00:05:46.305 align:center
Why? That’s not even your mother

00:05:48.465 --> 00:05:51.105 align:center
I don’t understand

00:05:52.105 --> 00:05:53.065 align:center
Can you be more specific?

00:05:55.105 --> 00:06:00.304 align:center
Raja, you mother Kanthi

00:06:00.305 --> 00:06:03.705 align:center
died when you were just 18.

00:06:09.145 --> 00:06:10.825 align:center
Whom did I look after all these years?

00:06:11.945 --> 00:06:14.985 align:center
You did not take care of your mother

00:06:16.145 --> 00:06:17.505 align:center
You nursed a vicious monster

00:06:26.465 --> 00:06:27.545 align:center
Rajan

00:06:42.905 --> 00:06:48.224 align:center
The one who had control over the spirit of your mother, who died 30 years ago

00:06:48.225 --> 00:06:49.625 align:center
Was a buffalo

00:06:52.785 --> 00:06:56.065 align:center
Another entity she created from her own power

00:06:58.265 --> 00:07:03.385 align:center
A buffalo-human creature called Erumamaadan

00:07:06.505 --> 00:07:10.345 align:center
That power circles around Kanthi all the time

00:07:14.945 --> 00:07:18.225 align:center
It’s hard for me to believe all this

00:07:26.385 --> 00:07:28.664 align:center
The other doubt you have

00:07:28.665 --> 00:07:31.665 align:center
Is whether Sreekuttan is really Leela’s child

00:07:35.465 --> 00:07:39.064 align:center
Rajan, Sreekuttan is not your blood

00:07:39.065 --> 00:07:41.824 align:center
He is born to Kanthi and the Erumamaadan

00:07:41.825 --> 00:07:45.185 align:center
Leela was merely a body used to manifest that power

00:07:49.265 --> 00:07:53.025 align:center
Sreekuttan will live as a human only until he turns 10

00:07:53.665 --> 00:07:56.985 align:center
On the full moon night of his eleventh year

00:07:57.625 --> 00:08:01.025 align:center
He’ll abandon his human body and be a demon

00:08:02.945 --> 00:08:04.425 align:center
Like your mother

00:08:08.145 --> 00:08:11.425 align:center
Does he not turn 11 tomorrow?

00:08:12.145 --> 00:08:15.305 align:center
Don’t you see the moment when time has brought you before me?

00:08:21.745 --> 00:08:22.785 align:center
What’s a solution for this?

00:08:27.945 --> 00:08:38.385 align:center
Rajan... Your mother has a history you know nothing about... you need to know it.

00:08:40.305 --> 00:08:41.985 align:center
Who your mother really was

00:08:48.505 --> 00:08:55.464 align:center
She was born to the last generation of the hunter-gatherer community of Vedars

00:08:55.465 --> 00:09:00.265 align:center
Your mother Kanthi’s beauty was in her shining eyes.

00:09:01.305 --> 00:09:04.785 align:center
So perfect, she would make anyone fall in love at first sight

00:09:05.745 --> 00:09:10.465 align:center
They say she had many supernatural powers even when she was a child

00:09:11.065 --> 00:09:15.664 align:center
Then her maternal uncle decided to teach Kanti witchcraft

00:09:24.545 --> 00:09:28.624 align:center
A woman occultist named Sumeshwari was the teacher

00:09:25.773 --> 00:09:29.133 align:center
He took her to a tantric family in Kongini village, known for their mystical powers
In that family, only girls were taught witchcraft

00:09:28.625 --> 00:09:33.144 align:center
She had a son and a daughter

00:09:33.145 --> 00:09:35.745 align:center
Her daughter was Ayilya and son Mallikan

00:09:36.305 --> 00:09:39.224 align:center
After marriage, Ayilya was living in Ratnagiri

00:09:39.225 --> 00:09:43.704 align:center
Kanthi, who began learning witchcraft, soon became the best student

00:09:43.705 --> 00:09:46.184 align:center
Sumeshwari was surprised by her ability in sorcery

00:09:46.185 --> 00:09:52.385 align:center
Sumeshwari taught Kanthi all chapters of Raktaakshara, which contained all forms of witchcraft

00:09:53.225 --> 00:09:54.984 align:center
Except one chapter

00:09:54.985 --> 00:10:00.424 align:center
The Raktadhyaayam (The blood chapter). Because it was never allowed to be taught

00:10:00.425 --> 00:10:01.985 align:center
That was a forbidden chapter

00:10:02.545 --> 00:10:09.224 align:center
But Kanthi had a growing curiosity to know what Raktadhyayam was

00:10:09.225 --> 00:10:14.024 align:center
That was the time when the evil spirit Muchundi had descended in the Karimala forest

00:10:14.025 --> 00:10:21.504 align:center
At the same time, Sumeshwari had to go to Ratnagiri for the naming ceremony her daughter Ayilya’s son

00:10:21.505 --> 00:10:29.584 align:center
So, until Sumeshwari returned, she sent Kanthi and other disciples to protect the village

00:10:29.585 --> 00:10:34.384 align:center
But before Sumeshwari returned, Kanthi defeated the evil force

00:10:34.385 --> 00:10:39.345 align:center
The villagers began calling Kanthi by the name of their forest goddess Chandulika

00:10:40.065 --> 00:10:44.504 align:center
All this success boosted Kanthi’s pride

00:10:52.665 --> 00:10:54.224 align:center
The crux of the chapter was to

00:10:53.214 --> 00:10:56.523 align:center
She sneaked into the magical sanctum and stole the book Raktaakshara
Learned the forbidden chapter Rakthadhyayam byheart

00:10:54.225 --> 00:10:58.025 align:center
Lure a virgin young man and marry him

00:10:58.745 --> 00:11:02.425 align:center
Then kill him and capture his soul

00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:06.465 align:center
It’s believed that ritual would give the ultimate power

00:11:07.065 --> 00:11:12.704 align:center
Understanding this secret, Kanthi seduced Sumeshwari’s son Mallikan

00:11:12.705 --> 00:11:17.225 align:center
She made him fall in love with her, then married him and killed him

00:11:17.825 --> 00:11:21.584 align:center
Then she captured his soul

00:11:21.585 --> 00:11:23.824 align:center
She created an Erumamaadan, the man-buffalo spirit

00:11:23.825 --> 00:11:25.785 align:center
Thus, Kanthi became the most powerful

00:11:26.425 --> 00:11:29.224 align:center
When Sumeshwari learned this, she cursed her

00:11:29.225 --> 00:11:32.664 align:center
But the curse did not take effect on Kanthi

00:11:32.665 --> 00:11:39.184 align:center
She summoned Erumamaadan and destroyed Sumeshwari and her entire lineage

00:11:39.185 --> 00:11:43.305 align:center
Kanthi did not know that only Ayilya’s son had survived from that lineage

00:11:44.145 --> 00:11:49.064 align:center
But what Kanthi did not want happened in her life

00:11:49.065 --> 00:11:53.665 align:center
Without Kanthi knowing, Mallikan’s child was growing inside her womb

00:11:54.265 --> 00:11:58.744 align:center
When the child was born, and she named him Rajan

00:11:58.745 --> 00:12:01.785 align:center
The presence of Erumamaadan made her even more terrifying

00:12:02.425 --> 00:12:09.264 align:center
Kanthi used her hair and spells to capture many things and destroy many others

00:12:09.265 --> 00:12:13.145 align:center
Her eating habits changed; she began consuming only raw mongoose meat and alcohol

00:12:13.545 --> 00:12:18.264 align:center
But one day, when Kanthi went to Hanumankunnu for witchcraft rituals...

00:12:18.265 --> 00:12:20.625 align:center
A divine power arose against her magical powers

00:12:21.025 --> 00:12:23.784 align:center
That affected her powers

00:12:23.785 --> 00:12:30.145 align:center
Humiliated, Kanthi withdrew from the outside world and began waiting to create a greater power

00:12:30.585 --> 00:12:33.344 align:center
She needed a woman’s body to create that

00:12:33.345 --> 00:12:35.625 align:center
A woman born in the divine clan of the Asura lineage

00:12:36.625 --> 00:12:38.225 align:center
That was your Leela

00:12:38.545 --> 00:12:42.225 align:center
Through Leela, Kanthi materialised that power

00:12:43.305 --> 00:12:48.985 align:center
That boy whom Kanthi spared from killing that day is me Sreedhar

00:12:51.185 --> 00:12:57.145 align:center
My life’s purpose is to destroy the power that killed my mother and my family

00:12:57.825 --> 00:13:01.145 align:center
And to burn that demon into ashes

00:13:04.625 --> 00:13:08.425 align:center
I have been waiting for ages for that

00:13:11.545 --> 00:13:15.425 align:center
For that I need your help, Rajan

00:13:22.265 --> 00:13:25.745 align:center
The stories you’ve heard are not just legends, Rajan

00:13:30.025 --> 00:13:32.385 align:center
You... You are just her slave

00:13:36.625 --> 00:13:39.665 align:center
Even after all this, if you still don’t understand...

00:13:40.905 --> 00:13:44.825 align:center
I understand everything now

00:13:47.665 --> 00:13:49.625 align:center
Then what is the solution now?

00:13:50.825 --> 00:13:52.625 align:center
There is only one solution

00:14:01.025 --> 00:14:04.345 align:center
Are you not the reason for all the problems in this village?

00:14:05.145 --> 00:14:14.945 align:center
Hey Leela, you’ve been making Rajan and Sreekuttan upset lately

00:14:18.825 --> 00:14:26.745 align:center
I don’t care about Rajan, but Sreekuttan...

00:14:27.345 --> 00:14:33.945 align:center
Even if you thought of hurting him... I will kill you

00:14:34.585 --> 00:14:39.384 align:center
Sreekuttan is my son. I will decide whether to cane him or scold him

00:14:39.385 --> 00:14:41.825 align:center
Who are you to question that?

00:14:43.225 --> 00:14:47.425 align:center
You are just an old woman; you even need someone’s help just to lie down

00:14:49.145 --> 00:14:55.345 align:center
Yeah, you are right. I am an old woman

00:14:56.585 --> 00:15:01.425 align:center
I might even need someone else’s help

00:15:02.145 --> 00:15:09.465 align:center
But I am powerful, and I am happy

00:15:13.385 --> 00:15:17.905 align:center
I don’t have the body to create a life

00:15:19.745 --> 00:15:24.345 align:center
But I still have the power to create one

00:15:27.545 --> 00:15:33.825 align:center
That was the only reason I needed you

00:15:35.345 --> 00:15:42.145 align:center
You are a strong woman who can match my power; you won’t break

00:15:42.905 --> 00:15:49.625 align:center
So, no matter what you say, I still like you

00:15:50.545 --> 00:15:51.185 align:center
Oh, Stop it

00:15:52.225 --> 00:15:54.985 align:center
Leela, Sreekuttan is my son

00:15:56.425 --> 00:16:00.424 align:center
My lineage... you are just a pawn in the process

00:16:00.425 --> 00:16:02.025 align:center
And Rajan... just a mule

00:16:04.025 --> 00:16:09.624 align:center
Don’t try to influence me like you did with Rajettan

00:16:09.625 --> 00:16:12.825 align:center
So, you know it

00:16:13.225 --> 00:16:20.545 align:center
But what else can that idiot do

00:16:24.625 --> 00:16:30.545 align:center
Who do you think brought you here in the first place

00:16:33.425 --> 00:16:38.185 align:center
Do you think Rajan brought you here by marrying you?

00:18:03.425 --> 00:18:05.105 align:center
Is there any truth in what your mother said?

00:18:09.105 --> 00:18:11.385 align:center
What did she say? Stop crying?

00:18:12.665 --> 00:18:16.345 align:center
She said that she asked you to marry me

00:18:17.345 --> 00:18:18.305 align:center
And that Sreekuttan is her son

00:18:19.825 --> 00:18:25.385 align:center
Leela, what’s wrong with you? That old woman keeps blurting out whatever comes to her mind

00:18:26.145 --> 00:18:26.585 align:center
Don’t you still understand that?

00:18:29.225 --> 00:18:33.545 align:center
Villagers say something, she says something else... I don’t understand anything anymore

00:18:45.745 --> 00:18:46.305 align:center
Don’t cry

00:18:47.465 --> 00:18:49.785 align:center
That’s why I had asked not to meet her alone

00:18:58.025 --> 00:19:06.425 align:center
Raja, you have only one solution; you must kill your own mother

00:20:43.665 --> 00:20:45.425 align:center
Is Sreekuttan my son or not?

00:20:48.145 --> 00:20:49.345 align:center
Why? Did Sreedhar not tell you anything?

00:20:52.225 --> 00:20:53.825 align:center
I need to hear it in your voice

00:20:54.345 --> 00:20:58.145 align:center
When you see Sreekuttan, do you see yourself in him?

00:20:59.625 --> 00:21:01.225 align:center
Or do you see me in him

00:21:06.625 --> 00:21:09.825 align:center
Were you the reason for the death of our first child?

00:21:11.025 --> 00:21:16.145 align:center
It was just a sacrifice to create a higher power

00:21:17.945 --> 00:21:19.225 align:center
So what?

00:21:20.825 --> 00:21:22.225 align:center
We have Sreekuttan now

00:21:25.625 --> 00:21:27.425 align:center
Be happy

00:21:28.105 --> 00:21:30.545 align:center
Whatever it is, Sreekuttan is at least a man

00:21:31.185 --> 00:21:32.985 align:center
Unlike you

00:22:04.025 --> 00:22:08.225 align:center
I have been living like a slave all this time for my mother

00:22:09.145 --> 00:22:10.865 align:center
I loved my mother that much

00:22:14.505 --> 00:22:16.025 align:center
But you...

00:22:27.945 --> 00:22:30.025 align:center
What did you do to my mother...
